Abstract

Systems and methods for remote badging and/or computer access, automatic individual verification, automatic vaccine verification and/or automatically remotely determining an individual's physical presence at a site are provided. The systems and methods include automatic vaccine proof verification.

Claims (18)

1. A computerized-method for vaccine verification, the method comprising:

receiving, via processor, a vaccine card in an electronic format and a plurality of data items;

performing, via the processor, text recognition on the vaccine card;

determining, via the processor, which recognized text is key text from the vaccine card based on a i) configuration file, wherein the configuration file is one configuration file of a plurality of configuration files, and ii) a machine learned model trained on OCR data of a plurality of vaccine card images, wherein the plurality of vaccine card images differ based on location and vaccine type; and

transmitting, via the processor, a vaccine card verified indicator to a display if all of the plurality of data items has at least one match from the recognized key text, otherwise transmitting a vaccine card not verified indicator to the display.

2. The computerized-method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of data items are name, date of birth, vaccine manufacturer, vaccine date, or any combination thereof.

3. The computerized-method of claim 1 wherein performing text recognition on the vaccine card further comprises using an OCR tool on the vaccine card.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the key text is compared to an employee profile for verification.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein a fuzzy match algorithm is used to compare the key text to the employee profile.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the key text includes a vaccination date, and wherein the vaccination date is checked to verify that the vaccine has not expired.

7. A non-transitory computer program product comprising instructions which, when the program is executed cause a processor to:

receive a vaccine card in an electronic format and a plurality of data items;

perform text recognition on the vaccine card;

determine which recognized text is key text from the vaccine card based on a i) configuration file, wherein the configuration file is one configuration file of a plurality of configuration files, and ii) a machine learned model trained on OCR data of a plurality of vaccine card images, wherein the plurality of vaccine card images differ based on location and vaccine type; and

transmit a vaccine card verified indicator to a display if all of the plurality of data items has at least one match from the recognized key text, otherwise transmitting a vaccine card not verified indicator to the display.

8. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 7 wherein the plurality of data items are name, date of birth, vaccine manufacturer, vaccine date, or any combination thereof.

9. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 7 wherein performing text recognition on the vaccine card further comprises using an OCR tool on the vaccine card.

10. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 7 wherein the electronic format is any electronic photo format.
